Disassembly of Piston and Connecting Rod Assembly
Piston assembly components should be segregated by cylinder and match-marked during
disassembly to ensure they are assembled in the same position and orientation.
NOTICE:
Stamping cylinder numbers on the piston assembly will damage
the components.
It is best to use a paint pencil. For cast iron pistons, mark the pin, skirt, bushing, and dome ear
at the front. For forged steel pistons, mark the pin, skirt, and dome. For forged steel piston
assemblies mark the pin and the dome/skirt assembly.
If the second ring on the cast iron piston is a rectangular section, the engine should be fitted with
the current cast iron piston assemblies that contain a Second Keystone Ring (SKR) configuration.
Former piston rings must NOT be used in the SKR configuration.
Disassemble the cast iron piston and connecting rod assembly as follows:
1. Place the piston, dome down, on the round plate of the piston and connecting rod holding
fixture, J 36211. See Figure 1-280.

well.
1.18.4
Assembly of Piston and Connecting Rod Assembly
Assemble the cast iron piston and connecting rod assembly as follows:
NOTICE:
The connecting rod-to-piston pin attaching bolts and spacers are
specially designed components. No other bolts or spacers may
be used. Piston pin bolts are considered one-use items and
must be replaced with new bolts when removed for any reason.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in bolt loosening
or breaking during engine operation, which may cause serious
engine damage.
1. Discard used piston pin bolts and replace with new bolts.
2. Because of the low clearance fit between the piston pin and three-piece pin bearing, care
in handling and cleanliness of piston dome bore, bearings, and piston pin are important.
Otherwise, assembly may be impossible. The specifications on reusing piston assembly
components are listed in Table 1-17 and listed in Table 1-20.
3. The pin bore and bearing backs should be wiped clean prior to installation of the bushings
in the piston dome.
4. Installing piston pin bearings (with the piston dome standing on the rim) requires the
upper bearing piece to be inserted through the end of the pin bore and dropped over
the retaining pin.
5. The lower bearing pieces are inserted flat side in by tilting the bearing at approximately a
30 degree angle from the vertical away from the dome ear.
6. Set the edge of the bearing parting line on the edge of the upper piece notch and rotate the
lower bushing up and into place. The lower bearing can then be pushed full into the bore.
7. Lubricate the piston pin bearings with clean engine oil. (Straight 30 weight oil is
recommended.)

11. Lubricate the pin with clean engine oil and install in the bores with the bolt holes facing
the connecting rod, away from the dome.
NOTE:
The piston pin may feel considerably tighter than with conventional designs and possibly
may not be turned easily by hand. Proper pin and bearing installation should result in a
piston assembly in which the pin can be turned with the connecting rod while the piston
dome is standing on the rim and the piston skirt is held with the other hand.
12. Apply a small amount of International Compound #2®, or equivalent, to the bolt threads
and bolt head contact surfaces and both ends of the spacers.
NOTICE:
The connecting rod-to-piston pin attaching bolts and spacers are
specially designed components. No other bolts or spacers may
be used. Piston pin bolts are considered one-time use items and
must be replaced with new bolts when removed for any reason.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in bolt loosening
or breakage during engine operation, which may cause serious
engine damage.
13. Install the spacers on the two special connecting rod-to-piston attaching bolts.
14. After clamping the connecting rod in holding fixture, J 36211, torque each piston pin bolt
to 95-122 N·m (70-90 lb·ft). See Figure 1-280.

SERIES 60 SERVICE MANUAL
NOTICE:
When installing a forged steel piston into the engine, care must
be taken to avoid damaging the piston cooling nozzle installed
at the base of the cylinder bore. Before loading the piston into
the liner, turn the connecting rod so that the bearing end is offset
approximately 10–15 degrees and not perpendicular to the
crankshaft, as is the case with cast iron pistons. This will ensure
that the rod end does not strike the nozzle when the piston is
pushed in. Once the rod end is past the nozzle, turn the rod so
that the bearing end is perpendicular to the crankshaft journal.
NOTICE:
Failure to orient the piston connecting rod properly during forged
steel piston installation may result in the bearing end of the rod
striking the nozzle, causing damage to the nozzle or loosening
it from the block. A damaged, bent, or loosened nozzle may
cause a loss of main gallery oil pressure. In these cases, piston
overheating or lack of adequate lubrication may result in severe
engine damage.
15. Position the ring compressor, with piston and connecting rod inside, into the
proper cylinder until the ring compressor is resting squarely on the cylinder liner.

PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD ASSEMBLY
NOTICE:
When installing a forged steel piston into the engine, care must
be taken to avoid damaging the piston-cooling nozzle installed
at the base of the cylinder bore. Before loading the piston/rod
liner assembly into the block, turn the connecting rod so that
the bearing end is offset approximately 10-15 degrees and not
perpendicular to the crankshaft, as is the case with cast iron
pistons. This will ensure that the rod end does not strike the
nozzle when the piston is pushed in the cylinder liner. Once the
rod end is past the nozzle, turn the rod so that the bearing end
is perpendicular to the crankshaft journal.
Notice
Failure to orient the piston connecting rod properly during forged
steel piston installation may result in the bearing end of the rod
striking the nozzle, causing damage to the nozzle or loosening
it from the block. A damaged, bent, or loosened nozzle may
cause a loss of main gallery pressure. In these cases piston
overheating or lack of adequate lubrication may result in severe
engine damage.
20. For steel forged one piece piston assemblies, ensure arrow on piston dome is pointing
toward the front of the engine during installation. See Figure 1-295a.

Cylinder Liner Installation Tools
23. Thread three cylinder head bolts through the tool and into a head bolt hole, so that the
round shoe of the tool is centered over the liner.
24. Tighten the three bolts.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to torque the bolts.
25. Turn the threaded center bolt in a clockwise direction. As the round shoe of the tool
reaches the liner, ensure that the shoe is properly positioned into the cylinder liner.
NOTE:
Use care for proper rod positioning during installation.
26. Continue turning the bolt until the liner bottoms in the cylinder counterbore. Apply a
tightening torque of 60 N·m (44 lb·ft) to the installation tool center bolt.
27. Install a dial indicator sled gage. See Figure 1-298.

28. Measure the distance from the top of the liner flange to the top of the
block. See Figure 1-298.
[a]
Allowable liner protrusion is -0.0127-0.076 mm (-0.0005 -0.003 in.) with no
more than 0.0508 mm (0.002 in.) variation between any two adjacent cylinders.
Specifications are listed in Table 1-16.
[b]
If the liner protrusion exceeds the maximum allowable, remove the kit and check for
debris under the liner flange.

29. Remove the cylinder liner tool.
30. Push or tap the piston and connecting rod within the liner until the upper rod bearing is
firmly seated on the appropriate crankshaft journal.
31. Remove the rod bolt protectors.
32. Lubricate the lower bearing shell with clean engine oil.
33. Install the bearing cap. The number on the cap and rod should be on the same (oil
cooler) side.
34. Torque the connecting rod bolts alternately to 160-185 N·m (118-137 lb·ft).
35. Check connecting rod side clearance by moving the rod from crank cheek to crank cheek.
If there is no clearance, check for proper bearing cap installation.
36. Install the remaining piston and rod assemblies in the same manner.
37. Install a new head gasket. Refer to section 1.2.5.
38. Install the cylinder head. Refer to section 1.2.5.

CONNECTING ROD
1.19 CONNECTING ROD
Two types of connecting rod are used in Series 60 engines. The open end or saddle type connecting
rod is used with cast iron pistons which have bolt-on, style piston pins. The closed end or trunk
type connecting rod is used with forged steel pistons which have floating, trunk style piston pins.
NOTICE:
Do not mix forged steel pistons used with closed end connecting
rods and cast iron pistons used with open-end connecting rods
in the same engine. This will cause severe engine damage.
OPEN-END CONNECTING ROD: The open-end connecting rod is forged to an "I" section with
an open or saddle type contour at the upper end and a bearing cap at the lower end. The surface of
the connecting rod is shot-peened for added strength. Therefore, no grinding is permitted since
it will remove the benefits of shot-peening.
The upper end of the connecting rod is machined to match the contour of the piston pin. The
piston pin is secured to the connecting rod with two special bolts and spacers. The lower bearing
cap is secured to the connecting rod by two specially machined bolts and nuts. See Figure 1-299.
